1. How is my blog feeling today?
My blog is feeling a bit neglected. Not entirely neglected - as I have been posting a bit here and there over the past week, or so. However, with the weather being SO nice - I’ve been spending more of my time outside and less of my time at the computer. I know it misses me - and I feel bad. I do. My poor blog doesn’t deserve it. I promise to do better — someday!

2. What are some of my favorite blog tools?
WordPress - I implemented it a few weeks ago and am still lovin’ the heck out of it. One of my favorite WordPress features? The internal link management system - no more dependance upon blogrolling.com and it’s moody servers.

Another favorite blog tool is the recent referrers utility that I use from Blog Tricks. It’s not necessarily a ‘blog tool’ - but I use it on my blog, therefore it is a tool, from my perspective. It has a configurable layout (via CSS) and is faster loading than any of the other referrer scripts I’ve used in the past.

3. Share some recent blog entries here — include your own, if you like - or showcase some posts from a few favorite blogs
Daniel and his well-behaved ass.

Goldie is on her way home. Of course, I wrote that post while guest posting at Drama Queen - that counts, doesn’t it? Thank you for inviting me to guest post over at DQ, Goldie - it was fabulous fun, and definately something I’d do again :)

Laura is on a quest to figure out what all the fuss is about Quinton Tarantino films. She’s purchased a few and will soon write her reviews. I hope she bought Reservoir Dogs - my personal fav!

My friend, Martin, gives a whiskey review of whiskey’s he sampled at a recent whiskey / chocolate / cigar tasting. I’d rather hear about the chocolate!

Speaking of cocktails - Lori has shared some YUMMM!

Daisy would say she was navel gazing, but her boobs got in the way. We’re waiting for her to prove it with pictures! ;)

Grumpy Bunny has blooms on her liliac bush - I’m jealous!

Emma discusses the RIAA and people who put up MP3 download links on their blogs.

If you’re going to insult Linda, try not to be redundant!

UptownGirl covers Styx - remember them?

Lawren introduces us to slow food, as opposed to fast food. Slooooooowwwwwwffoooooooooddddddd….yum!

That wraps up my RE: Blogs for the week. We’ll see if I can keep this up! :)

    Lisa: It was a truffle chocolate ball and a piece of French dark nougat. The ball and Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve mixed well together. For more on chocolate, read my post, THE GOOD LIFE. Have you seen Chocolate the movie?

    UptownGirl: It was great to read the post on Styx. Nostalgic memories… Great template b.t.w!

    Thanks for the link. I hate when people hijack my blog for their own personal agenda. They’re supposed to do that on their own blogs! :)
